Graphite powder and multiwalled carbon nanotubes chemically modified with 4-nitrobenzylamine.

We demonstrate that graphite powder and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) can be derivatised by 4-nitrobenzylamine (4-NBA) simply by stirring the graphite powder or MWCNTs in a solution of acetonitrile containing 10 mM 4-NBA. We propose that 4-NBA partially intercalates at localised edge-plane or edge-plane-like defect sites and this hypothesis with a range of experimental data provided by electrochemistry in both aqueous and nonaqueous media, electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.     

Atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy of cellulose from Micrasterias denticulata; evidence for a chiral helical microfibril twist

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM-AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been used to image the cell wall, ultrathin sections of whole cells and cellulose microfibrils prepared from the green alga Micrasterias denticulata. Measurements of the microfibril dimensions are in agreement with earlier observations carried out by electron microscopy. Images at the molecular level of the surface of the microfibrils were obtained with AFM and show regular periodicities along the microfibril axis that correspond to the fibre and glucose repeat distances of cellulose. Twisted regions visible at intervals along the microfibrils dried down onto substrates were noted to be right-handed in over 100 observations by TEM, AFM and TM-AFM. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Copper (II)-supported polyethylenimine-functionalized magnetic graphene oxide as a catalyst for the green synthesis of 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones

A novel copper (II) catalyst supported on polyethylenimine-functionalized magnetic graphene oxide (denoted Cu@PEI-MGO) has been developed and applied for the cyclization of benzylacetamide with 2-aminobenzamide to afford 2-arylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones in acetonitrile as an inexpensive, non-toxic and reusable solvent medium. Cu@PEI-MGO was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis, and Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy.     

Real‐Time Observation of Liposome Bursting Induced by Acetonitrile

We show the bursting process of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) liposomes in response to the addition of acetonitrile, a small toxic molecule widely used in the fields of chemistry and industry. The percentage of destroyed liposomes is reduced upon decreasing the acetonitrile fraction in the aqueous solution and vesicle bursting is not observed at volume ratios of 4:6 and below. This indicates that a high fraction of acetonitrile causes the bursting of liposomes, and it is proposed that this occurs through insertion of the molecules into outer leaflet of the lipid bilayer. The elapsed time between initial addition of acetonitrile and liposome bursting at each vesicle is also measured and demonstrated to be dependent on the volume fraction of acetonitrile and the vesicle size.     

Supramolecular Self-assembly of Amphiphilic Alkynyl-platinum(II) 2,6-Bis(N-alkylbenzimidazol-2'-yl) pyridine Complexes

Alkynylplatinum(II) bzimpy complexes of trimethylammonium-benzylethynyl ligand have been synthesized and characterized. Complexes with long alkyl chains have been found to exhibit interesting self-assembly properties in the acetonitrile solution. The amphiphilic nature of the complexes has led to the formation of nanorods, as revealed by electron microscopy experiments. Further increasing the polarity of the solvent media has given rise to the enhancement of low-energy emission.

Highly Dispersed Ni Nanoclusters Spontaneously Formed on Hydrogen Boride Sheets

Hydrogen boride (HB) sheets are two-dimensional materials comprising a negatively charged hexagonal boron network and positively charged hydrogen atoms with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1. Herein, we report the spontaneous formation of highly dispersed Ni nanoclusters on HB sheets. The spontaneous reduction reaction of Ni ions by the HB sheets was monitored by in-situ measurements with an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer. Acetonitrile solutions of Ni complexes and acetonitrile dispersions of the HB sheets were mixed in several molar ratios (the HB:Ni molar ratio was varied from 100:0.5 to 100:20), and the changes in the absorbance were measured over time. In all cases, the results suggest that Ni metal clusters grow on the HB sheets, considering the increase in absorbance with time. The absorbance peak position shifts to the higher wavelength as the Ni ion concentration increases. Transmission electron microscopy images of the post-reaction products indicate the formation of Ni nanoclusters, with sizes of a few nanometers, on the HB sheets, regardless of the preparation conditions. These highly dispersed Ni nanoclusters supported on HB sheets will be used for catalytic and plasmonic applications and as hydrogen storage materials.     

Modification of glassy carbon electrode by the electrochemical oxidation of 3‐aminophenylcalix[4]pyrrole in nonaqueous media

3‐Aminophenylcalix[4]pyrrole (3APCP) was grafted to a glassy carbon (GC) surface during the electrochemical oxidation process in 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumtetra‐fluoroborate (TBATFB) containing acetonitrile solution. The presence of a surface film was confirmed electrochemically by comparing voltammograms of dopamine and ferricyanide redox probes at the bare and modified electrodes. Reflection‐absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), XPS, atomic force microscopy (AFM), ellipsometry and the contact angle measurements were also employed to characterize 3APCP film on GC electrode. RAIRS analysis revealed that calix[4]pyrrole was bonded to the glassy carbon surface via the etheric linkage. The stability of the modified GC electrode was also studied.

A new two-photon fluorescent probe, ADNO, for nitric oxide （NO） based on intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer （PET） mechanism d/splays a rapid response to NO with a remarkable fluorescent enhancement in PBS buffer. The excellent chemoselectivity of ADNO for NO over other ROS/RNS （reactive oxygen species or nitrogen species） and common metal ions was observed. Moreover, ADNO has been successfully applied in fluorescence imaging of NO of living cells using both one-photon microscopy （OPM） and two-~hoton microscopy （TPM）,
